Specificatii
"Sonia Purnell has at long last given Clementine Churchill the
biography she deserves. Sensitive yet clear-eyed, Clementine tells
the fascinating story of a complex woman struggling to maintain her
own identity while serving as the conscience and principal adviser
to one of the most important figures in history." -Lynn Olson,
bestselling author of Citizens of London Shortlisted for the 2016
Plutarch Award A long over-due tribute to the extraordinary woman
who was Winston Churchill's closest confident, fiercest critic and
shrewdest political advisor that captures the intimate dynamic of
one of history's most fateful marriages, as seen on The Crown. By
Winston Churchill's own admission, victory in the Second World War
would have been "impossible without her." Until now, however, the
only existing biography of Churchill's wife, Clementine, was
written by her daughter. Sonia Purnell finally gives Clementine her
due with a deeply researched account that tells her life story,
revealing how she was instrumental in softening FDR's initial
dislike of her husband and paving the way for Britain's close
relationship with America. It also provides a surprising account of
her relationship with Eleanor Roosevelt and their differing
approaches to the war effort. Born into impecunious aristocracy,
the young Clementine was the target of cruel snobbery. Many
wondered why Winston married her, but their marriage proved to be
an exceptional partnership. Beautiful and intelligent, but driven
by her own insecurities, she made his career her mission. Any real
consideration of Winston Churchill is incomplete without an
understanding of their relationship, and Clementine is both the
first real biography of this remarkable woman and a fascinating
look inside their private world.
